Michelle Obama: highly qualified but a wasted talent as First Lady.

Understand that Michelle Obama is every bit as radical as her husband.  She bought into a black/black experience that teaches the advancement of the black community in a white world.  While at Princeton,  she wrote a paper (Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community) in which she used a statistical analysis to challenge blacks to participate in the black assignment of returning  wealth and life's experience (educationally and otherwise) back into the black community. I have that paper . . . . not a literary masterpiece, by any means,  but, also,  not racist.  Of course,  after graduating from Princeton and moving on,  she really did move on.  I see nothing in her post-graduate life  that tells me she returned to the black community and fulfilled the assignment suggested in her Princeton senior paper.  Instead,  she and Barack live like every other rich black or white couple you have ever seen.

Her claim to fame,  as "First Lady,"  is her push to get fresh fruit and vegetables into so-called "food deserts,"  communities where vegetables and fruit are nowhere to be found, apparently.  The program is a monumental failure. For example,  WalMart intended to open 300 "food desert stores,"  but,  because of opposition to the franchise,  itself,  from Democrat inspired radicals,  the company has been able to open just 23 stores.  Other food chains pledged to participate, as well,  but large food chains cannot survive in the poorer communities and licensees cannot get the necessary loans to carry the project forward.

So much for Michelle's place in history.  Truthfully,  she is one of the more enigmatic but highly qualified First Ladies in modern history. She has a sociology degree from Princeton and a JD from Harvard.  As First Lady,  she could have spearheaded efforts for social reform within the black community and coordinated efforts with faith-based entities to curtail black on black crime.  Instead,  she has spent most of her time, hosting parties,  appearing on children TV programs and dealing with the "food desert" issue.    Chalk it up to Barack's sense of "macho" (?).
